MESSAGE

My AGC Georgia story started nearly two decades ago with some uncertainty. I wasn’t sure how my small, South Georgia company could benefit from the association. In fact, many of you have heard me share how my father (and business partner), was opposed to joining AGC Georgia because of our distance from metro Atlanta.

I took a leap and decided that to become more connected to the industry, I needed to get engaged. While you know the ending of this story, I am proud to say that my dad became one of the association’s most enthusiastic supporters. AGC Georgia continues to prove its value time and time again for me and my team. I don’t hesitate in saying that our growth and success is in part due to the relationships we’ve developed, the lessons we’ve learned, and the information we’ve shared in this great organization.

While we’ve had a lot of fun this past year, we’ve also made some great strides. I am pleased to leave office with a straightforward, workable business plan in place for AGC Georgia. This will be a guidebook for our leadership to use through 2025. You can learn more about this on page 3. I applaud my fellow board members for their work in setting priorities, and I also want to recognize our outstanding team of hardworking staff members who are passionate about helping us move our association and industry forward.

With my term as your association president ending, my challenge to you and all our fellow members is to grow your engagement with AGC Georgia whenever and wherever you can. Volunteer, support new initiatives, send your team members for professional development, leadership and safety training – and most of all, share your experience and expertise. Whether you are a small company from rural Georgia or a mega firm in the heart of the city, AGC Georgia exists for our entire industry and can be a great resource for growing your team.

AGC Georgia is the perfect place for all of us who want to prosper as we frame the future.

All the best,

AGC Georgia is the perfect place for all of us who want to prosper as we frame the future.

The old saying goes, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.”

I’m pleased to share AGC Georgia knows where it’s going. We’ve spent the last year asking questions and listening to members – letting our imaginations run with what we think AGC Georgia can be, and learning from you and your fellow members how you want us to better serve you and the industry as the market evolves.

Through this exploration, we’ve identified five business priorities that we will focus on for the next several years. And we’re already taking steps toward making the priorities realities in our programming.
